He's such a stone-cold, 100% genuine solid idiot that should he win, he will be outwitted by every world leader he meets. They'll only have to say "ISIS" and he'll jump up and beg (if that doesn't work they'll dangle a pretty young woman in front of him and make sure the cameras are running). That's why he's Putin's poodle. Putin's a great leader, Putin fight ISIS, yeah we're best friends on no wait I mean we never even talked. Wikileaks is all he has against Clinton so he has to be grateful.
He can't even cope with questions from journalists without bluster, bullying and evasion, oh yes, and lies, mustn't forget lies. He digs his own traps, decides they're not big enough, digs a bit more then jumps in. How well would that work as President?

Fact Check Google News may apply this label to your content if you publish stories with fact-checking content that's indicated by schema.org ClaimReview markup, especially round-up stories that contain multiple fact-check analyses within a single article. The (fact-checking) label helps users find fact-checking content in major stories.
When determining whether to use this tag for your article, consider whether that article meets the following criteria, which we consider characteristics of fact-checking sites:
Discrete claims and checks must be easily identified in the body of fact-check articles. Readers should be able to understand what was checked, and what conclusions were reached.
Analysis must be transparent about sources and methods, with citations and references to primary sources.
The organization must be nonpartisan, with transparent funding and affiliations. It should examine a range of claims in its topic area, instead of targeting a single person or entity.
Article titles must indicate that a claim is being reviewed, state the conclusions reached, or simply frame that the articleâ(TM)s contents consist of fact checking.

One of them was the most world-changing drone so far.
... the project was dangerous, expensive and unsuccessful. Of 14 missions flown, none resulted in the successful destruction of a target. Many aircraft lost control and crashed or were shot down by flak, and many pilots were killed. However, a handful of aircraft scored near misses. One notable pilot death was that of Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., the elder brother of future US President John F. Kennedy.
I wondered that. The link below mentions unusual and fake certificates.
The malware first appeared on tamindir.com at the end of 2015 redirecting mainly Turkish users to a clone of the truecrypt site then last month links were put on winrar.it and winrar.be to point to copies of the winrar site which affected mainly Italian and Belgian users respectively. The malware was after details of encryption and passwords.
There's no word on how the attackers put links to the malware on legitimate sites.
I'd guess it's an espionage group for hire rather than a state actor or the usual economic criminals.

Operating systems, programming environments and applications are many times more complex than they were in the '80s and so is the amount of work which needs to be done now to get something decent up on the screen. A beginner in the '80s could fairly easily produce a useful program which was of a comparable standard to other software available. I'd say it's a lot harder to achieve that now.
I'll explain it simply, just for you. What was thought to be a good idea fifty years ago would now be looked upon as an unacceptable environmental disaster. Now shut the fuck up, Donald.
Well they seem to have backed down in the face of widespread opposition so that's a plus for democracy and shows that the state's will and Rome's rule can be overcome.
For a brightly-lit city centre it will be useless but if you've ever been outside at night in an area like that photo for 20 minutes or so, you'll know that our eyes adapt to the dark and a faint glow when there's no other light can be all you need. You can't tell from photos how bright it is. Cool photo anyway.
Despite the a/c's crude phrasing, we should be careful about introducing large amounts of anything new into the environment. I was just reading about "Project Plowshare", an idea in the '60s to use nuclear bombs to remodel the earth for engineering projects. Does anyone still think that's a good idea (not you Donald)?
Yes, that's always a danger with regular auditing because the auditors want the repeat business next year. Then the audit becomes routine, everyone complains about how pointless it is and it's treated as a box-ticking exercise. They're mostly right because how often does the shit hit the fan? How likely is it that an auditor will come across an Enron? They missed that of course.
Mostly though, the regulations, inspections and enforcement work. Thousands of Americans aren't electrocuted because of faulty electrical goods. A similar framework for internet security would work just as well, if it weren't for the privacy implications, which means there should also be some oversight of both government and manufacturers, which is why I suggested independent researchers . They needn't be hired directly by the manufacturers (and going along with your concerns, shouldn't be), just paid for by them.
"You really need to get more experience with seniors. There are some that are savvy, and not very at risk of being cheated, but others, well, they don't have the cognitive skills, either due to the infirmities of age, or due to a lack of experience at a time they could learn it."
I know this goes against everything you believe but sometimes government has to step in because people and corporations with a vested interest can't always be trusted to do the right thing. That's why you have mandatory requirements for electrical goods and many others, from water to food. Do you think those laws should be repealed? There should be mandated security standards for internet devices, checked by independent researchers and paid for by the manufacturer.
Where is software patentable? It has been in the US until recently, though they seem reluctant to declare that it's ended. It never has been in the EU. How about elsewhere?

Like the Bushes, there's an endless supply.
And drones don't kill people and cars don't kill people. Is that all you have?
Recall also that every month guns kill nearly as many people as 9/11 did.

Thanks. I messed up the link in the previous post: this sort of thing.
It's the sort of comment which should be removed by the Slashdot edito... never mind
For the last couple of days the stories have been covered by an ad on my phone, has anyone else been seeing this?
Laws, oversight and openness.
The group is a quite arbitrary list of jobs but what's BLM doing there?
The sensors will let you know when the bridges fall down.
New model, just announced. They're replacing it with the Samsung HCF 2.
I cannot tell a lie, I love the sig,
I had one of those malware infections and it was so bad, I had to acid wash my emails, bleach them, which was very expensive.

This is what you earthlings call a joke, yes? but still the article has a cautionary note that the environmental effects are unknown.

Clowns, probably. They're attracted to blue light.

The USA is about to have a "senior" as President.
